Gayyto, stunning and brave...I have been taken by the stunning and brave meme. It's really only useful if you are depressed and very drunk. You know, my father worked for Nato in the 70s. They built infrastructure. A term they liked was "Quality Control." LOL.

The new zeitgeist will be Arrogance and Pretending to be Close to God. Dry drunks.

WW3 is already taking place - yes it doesn't neccesarily look like the images of war we have in our head. It has to be fairly catestrophic to cover up the financial reset. Putin wll play his part.

Fair comment, different definition. I meant only the hot war of nuclear weapons and so on.

I have a lot of time for Dr David A Hughes’ concept of “Omniwar”, and I interviewed him about that here. He maintains the sort of war you describe began with “Covid-19”, and is intended to usher in a “bio-digital tyranny”.

What troubles me is the sheer audacity of what has happened in less than 2 weeks Frank. JB became a lame Duck after the summer debate when the science became settled he was not all there upstairs. After the landslide defeat he went from becoming a lame to a dead duck. Yet TPTB didn’t let it stop them from using him one last time.

Whenever one goes skating on uncharted and noticeably thin ice one must be concerned. It’s such a bold escalation it’s awful hard not to incorporate negative thoughts. I honestly think the people should probably be making more noise.

This leads to more disconcerting views as the media seems to be casually covering things up. I don’t watch hardly any of it aside from clips here and there. I am under the impression even Fox News seems to be participating. I have watched that happen a couple of times. They did it during the election theft in 2020 and early treatments for covid along with the vaccines.

Anyhow I hope you are correct in your assessment. I will remain wary until Jan 20th and probably some time thereafter depending on how this plays out.

These are bold escalations. If you can read my article what I linked, I mention the insane strategy of “nudging Russian red lines”. This was published by the Carnegie Insititute - which claims to be the worlds leading Russia specialists.

The strategy has remained unchanged and there have been a series of outrageous provocations going back months. The first storm shadow strikes for instance. The Kerch Bridge. There are others.

This is madness of course - but they have gone all in on collapsing Russia. It has not worked. The question is - will the regime resort to nuclear weapons to prevent the outbreak of peace? I don’t think so.

Why? It is extremely likely that a deal is already being discussed with the trump admin. We are weeks away from that. Bad as all this is, the Russians will put up with it. Expect worse in the weeks to come. The Ukrainian regime is desperate.

The thing that concerns me most is that the people who seem to have a rather large say in the matter do NOT understand violence. John Carter and I joked recently that in order to shape the world of geopolitics a person must be beaten almost to death at least one good time. It’s beyond infuriating to see people like Cookies Nuland (what a name) and her morbidly obese husband Kagan egging on wars. Not to mention all these elite educated young feminized men and women in these think tanks and war colleges.

Some might retort that it’s always been older wealthy elite people starting wars. But that’s only half true because those people in many cases fought at a previous point in their lives. The elite of today have never been so isolated from reality. Technology and luxury have nearly made our lives almost non existent to them.

Putin no doubt understands violence. Trump understands the commoner and/or he can at least get on their level with them. I get agitated at those who refuse to even give him credit for that. I have never been, nor do I know anyone that has been to a DT Rally. This dawned on me several days ago and it really was shocking to me. However those people who were interviewed (Butler PA) all seemed like pretty down to earth folks. After that incident I decided that if I could NOT support Trump that I would at the very least support his supporters.

I think we are most definitely in, if not good, at least responsible hands after the start of the year. Until then lots of talk out there about attempting to get Putin to smack NATO so they can article 5. Alex Krainer even suggested a false flag may be in store for your country sir. Anything they can use to gin up the escalatory steps. Apparently the goal according to Kunstler would be to halt the transfer of power on 1/20 and then begin civil conflict here in the US.

Lol I understand it SEEMS like a bridge too far. I couldn’t agree more. But so did escalating a war with a lame/dead duck Pres shortly after a humiliating defeat. Part of that platform that delivered that defeat was based on ending wars and other foreign entanglements.

Love your writing style Frank!!

You’re very kind and I am glad you like my writing - thank you for telling me. I appreciate that.

False flag could happen of course. So could assassination, terrorism, some reckless attempt on Lukashenko’s life, an incursion into Kaliningrad - there’s all sorts. The Russians know this too. Also, the regime is factional, not unitary. It has antagonisms. There are also some sane people left in the pentagon and even in nato itself.

How much they are in control is an issue. I have no doubt the doomed Zelensky faction is capable of the most reckless action possible - if only to wreck things and not even with an objective in mind - but I also think that minds there are turning to consider a postwar future. Dangerous times, yes, but not the end times.

Oh I think the bloated obscenity power couple understand violence - they just don’t care.

Do you remember Madeleine Albright?

Robert Kagan wrote a book arguing American men had lost their “thumos” - saying if they didn’t want to die in his wars, they were neither men nor Americans.

I take your and Carter’s point about violence. I have been beaten nearly to death myself. I understand violence. I’ve also met people who don’t - in that sense - but who see the business of violence as a sort of administrative process. Like Robert Macnamara did.

Naturally, I fixed it manually on my side, and after reading both I want to point out that you surely lay down the scenario the way it actually seems to be. But. Precisely because the stakes are so high for the globalists and NATO, I feel pretty vindicated in assuming that the nuclear strike may come from them, not the Russians. And we'll all be blessed if it turns out to be a limited exchange between military assets, not cities.

Alternatively, given that there's a lot of rumors about sending Western "peacemakers" to Ukraine, which is an obvious excuse for an expeditionary force, we may yet see a war in Europe - still on Ukrainian soil, but very soon extending to rear bases in Poland, Romania and Baltics - with Russia claiming to be attacked so Article V may not be activated.

All in all, great analysis, especially the post-War part. It will inevitably end there anyway. If Trump or Vance or St. Peter himself make that new security architecture in Europe manifest without extra destruction, all the better. Yet a lot rides on Trump's ability to land that burning plane in time. Should he fail or be sabotaged, it still might take those extra steps, and a sizeable amount of people will get unnecessarily fucked.

Expand full comment

I don’t think there is any such thing as a limited exchange in that case, Andy. US cold war planners used to think they could contain a nuclear exchange to Europe, which was their idea of limited. Certainly limits a few of us, that.

I think the sheer amount of weapons, corruption and determination to continue the war (even beyond a ceasefire) is also dangerous. Things may indeed get very bad, but I do not think a nuclear exchange is going to happen.

Zelinski‘s suspicious permanent cold, very funny. Percocet? Oxycoton? Cocaine?

I watched the documentary on Hitler’s use of Percocet . Apparently he was whacked out unconscious on D-Day. Three days later, his senses semi- restored he was informed or rather able to comprehend that the landing had succeeded.

I have good judgement and in my judgment this author has good judgment.

Is not the solution to the Zionist aggression, making Gazans Egyptians with financial reparation. 80 years ago, we chose to steal the land to create Israel. So finish the job and stop the killing. The West Bank arabs are now Jordanians plus $. Then allow Israel to be an ethnic religious state. Really what does it have to do with me, so many square kilometres of sand. The forever war affects me as a Canadian. Give the Jews, some more sq. kilometres of sand. Give the Muslims so so rudely displaced some money. Finish the job. The Arabs are partly at fault. Time to move on lads here’s some money.

I know that’s bad for business, the business of war.

Listen Frank you’re pretty awesome: from you I learned anew. Please read Curtis Yarvin “clear pill on Gaza.” I don’t think you like Curtis. He can be quite crude.

I wonder if you agree with this . The Palestinian cause is a fraud in the Arab/Persian world. They don’t really give a shit about the Palestinians, they view the Palestinians as a bunch of dummies and hillbillies. They really just wanna put the boot to the Jews.

My work environment is full of Arabs and Persians . They all say this to me. The right wing atliia the hun types and the commie losers, all the same, they say the Palestinians are useful idiots. These people, my colleagues, are just normal people and their opinions are not informed in any learned sense but practical, based on native intelligence, life experience and intuition.

Most of the learned people I come across are stupid compared to my miscreant friends and colleagues. It’s a pattern.

I believe the Internet is destroying the weaponization of language. Propaganda reached its zenith in the 20th century with broadcast radio and television. The Internet is taking us back to the Stone Age, ironically. It’s kind of like the tower of Babel was destroyed by everybody speaking all at once in different languages, and nobody could keep building, because the they couldn’t be commanded or ordered about by a central voice. Can the Internet itself survive the destruction of the old command and control systems that built it?

WHAAAT? What is a wisent? Once again you return to befoul my comments with guano.

I take your points over the ostriches though. The Habsburgs ignored Napoleon over an ostrich feather shortage, of course.

I think you may yet take us all down the ostrich hole.

That is a LOL moment. I ask rhetorically, just step back and gasp and gape at the horror that unfolded from that moment forward 30 years to the tens of millions dead. The wasp sting conflated and combusted the known civilised world. It would have been a horrific way to die - knowing that someone was out to assassinate you by any and all means necessary, the fact it resulted in 30 years of wanton bloodlust is beyond my mortal comprehension. A political murder, an act of terror and 3 decades and millions of lives later we ‘won’. It makes me weep and my soul ponder.

I got the idea that WW1 was a revolution that swept away the old order from Renoir (La Grande Illusion) and Wyndham Lewis.

I mentioned Wyndham Lewis apropos this here, in a post about A Century of Lies. I will be doing more on this idea of war as revolution in the book, and have been reading more Lewis recently.
